Yup, if you have any critical tickets that need to go in before our first beta
remember to add `6.0-alpha` to their fixVersion, with regards to our establish
release guidelines Ekaterina points out.
This usage is also described under its version description:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CASSANDRA?selectedItem=com.atlassian.jira.jira-projects-plugin%3Arelease-page&status=unreleased
"Placeholder for blockers to 6.0-beta1 (unresolved tickets only)"
Currently we two tickets blocking any 6.0-beta1
I'm keen to cut 6.0-alpha3 and 5.0.10 asap.
